About this project

A few words from David regarding this project:

This is a heartwarming story about a man and a dream. The dream began almost four years ago when I adopted a tiny ginger kitten. I soon realized that Zeus needed a companion to
play with while I worked. Shortly afterward, I adopted another kitten who I named Phoebe. Thus began the story of Zeus & Phoebe....

As a semi-professional
photographer, I took photographs of Zeus & Phoebe because I love my kitties so much. It was only in retrospect that I realized that I
had documented a wonderful story unfolding on the pages of their
Flickr account. Now I am working hard to self-publish this story of the love of two special cats through Kickstarter.com. Following the success of this project, I plan to create a DVD of the book that will be donated to schools for visually and hearing impaired children.

This video is about my project. A full color, hard cover book for
animal lovers. The Passion of Zeus & Phoebe: A True Love Story will be an 8.5" x 11" mini coffee table, landscape style, book printed on
an off-set press with 100+ full color, glossy photographs, a full-bleed
cover, front and back, and a sewn hard binding.

This book tells the tender love story of two of the most adorable,
loving, intelligent, and obedient ginger tabbies that you will
ever meet. This incredible story will appeal to all ages. Their sweet devotion for each other is lovingly expressed
through words and stunning photography. As with people, it wasn't exactly love
at first sight; but with time it blossomed into an endearing saga of two soul mates on a journey through life. You'll marvel at
Zeus who became a doting father of 12 ginger kittens. You will be
moved by Phoebe's gentle mothering of two adopted kitties along with
her own. Her unending devotion to her soul mate, Zeus, and
his love for her is an inspiration to all.

Cat lovers the world over
will be thrilled to own a copy of The Passion of Zeus &
Phoebe: A True Love Story. Page after page
you'll be drawn deeper into the love story of two ginger tabbies that
were destined to be together, soul mates for life. The special love expressed between
Zeus & Phoebe has moved readers to laugh and cry tears of pure
joy.

The Passion of Zeus & Phoebe: A True Love
Story will be printed on full-glossy
100# paper of Library Quality. This book will be an outstanding addition to
everyone's personal library.

The Passion of Zeus & Phoebe: A True Love
Story will have an ISBN (barcode) number
and Library of Congress number, which means it can be sold through book stores and found
in Public Libraries.
